Dr. John Evans:

Yes, I do. The metric of monthly active users has been used by the European Commission, and that is being challenged for a couple of reasons. The first is because it leads to designation and the second is because it has implications for how levy fees are calculated. It is a critical criterion for them. Is there a question of whether some are in and around the threshold? There are some that are approaching the threshold but this does not mean that they escape the DSA. If they are below the threshold, they still need to fulfil a range of regulatory obligations. In those situations and if they are based in Ireland, we are the regulator in the driving seat. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment did a survey of online platforms and ISPs generally based in Ireland. In addition to the 13 VLOPs, we believe there are probably at least 400 other service providers of differing levels of significance. Some of them will be in and around that and will possibly be VLOPs one day, while some are much smaller.

That is why, as Mr. Kenny said, we have a director of supervision dedicated to that area. We need a different supervision strategy for that group because they are very heterogeneous. There is a long tail.
